Well blow me down and then some. The "K&P" ex-MOPAC line across Kansas/Colorado to Denver has seen little traffic in past few years but has just been activated for a few more trains a day. Not sure if the train was still moving when this storm hit or stopped. Guess it doesnt matter as 86 cars/contain...
Krink noted in the chat how it seemed to take a long time to change out crews on a train he was watching on one of those internet rail Cameras. I was talking to a fellow hawg the other nite and he told me that he was told that everyone was given a spray bottle, and there are big drums of some kind of sanatizing fl...

This is a case where train and tractor trailer both lose. A lot of times the train comes out the winner but with VIR/MIR its a big derailment too. Maybe Railfan Rowan is on his way to this Daloot with some cleanup video. IM Train NS 211 Collides With A Tractor Trailer Duluth GA.
UP derailment Rock Springs WY where there aren't many people and a lot of nowhere. Sounds pretty bad as tankcars onfire and a big mess to cleanup.

Buffalo and Pittsburgh derailment at East Aurora NY. I actually stumbled onto the YouTube drone video of this derailment and was having a hard time trying to figure out why it derailed. The 3-units on the ground was covering up the evidence as this train was lined into a stub track just south of the brid...

Most of the time when I see a ribbon rail train its just a ribbon rail train. This one apparently towing a loaded ballast too. What a mess to cleanup. CSX Rail Train Pull Apart
Its been a rough go on Tehachapi so far in 2020 with several derailments. The latest is at Cliffs CA where from drone it looks like a huge boulder/rock came down this gully and knocked the 4th unit on its side causing a "stringline of 10 TOFC" too. Thats what it looks like to me. I couldn't identify any huge...

Catchy headline huh...I needed somewhere to post these pictures. I was standing in my garage having a smoke and I noticed this Yellow Jacket wasp crawling down the middle of a 3ft long piece of HO flextrack on the window sill. Maybe an idea for the next Japanese B movie.

NS need to appoint somebody to look at "train make-up" as once again empty centerbeam flatcars on a 15K ton train very near the point get "stringlined" at Rockville Bridge. You can blame this one/derailment and others to come on the Mercury square Pluto/Jupiter "playing now" for next 5-days/night...
1.65 a gallon regular Unleaded. 30 cent a gallon off with supermarket points. Can't save as much as I used to since no driving back and forth to work. Seems eerie, not much traffic, prices used to go up on the Holidays.
